when you do an auto to manual conversion, you have to do some extra wiring to get the reverse lights to work. Most people never bother (like me), but there are write ups on it. Nothing out of the ordinary. I know it has something to do with sending the wires from the reverse switch back to the auto shifter plug....

You may need to fill up your headlight fluid. You're probably running low.

I've heard of this problem before. Try searching GOOGLE for it or call race shops and ask for their opinion. Good luck!
